RIVERSIDE, California – Three-time reigning Pacific West Conference Champion Hawai'i Hilo Men's Golf wrapped up its 2024-25 season with a 16th-place finish at the NCAA South Central/West Regional held at the Victoria Club this past weekend.
Katsuhiro Yamashita led the Vulcans with a five-under finish after rounds of 69, 74 and 68 to finish in an eight-way tie for No. 20.
The Vulcans had their best round on the final day, combining to post seven-under for the third-best score of Round 3.
